I love US12 through the Irish Hills, when traffic isn't too bad.  I bet you know the good back roads in that area.

I wouldn't get too excited about them curves mainly long sweepers but for sure is a hot spot for the bikes seen a bunch during the summer months, I've got one secret spot but if you go off the road you're gonna go right into houses but I'm sure some could get their knee down on them curves  ;D

I've got one secret spot
Come on on dragon, let it out!
This is Michigan, for cryin out loud. Not much in the way of curvy roads around here. I usually don't make it past Waterloo, Jackson, Napoleon. I like Seymour rd, Sharon Valley, Pleasant Lake, Austin rd. Maybe see you out there next summer. :)

Alright ill share but its close to me so you would have to come to brooklyn haha but if you look up columbia high school you go north on hewitt road and it wraps around the lake all 1.1 miles of it at 35 mph lol and yeah there is some dirt and gravel on that road as well fun.

Thanks darkdragono. Almost forgot, I made it to the Beach Bar at Clark Lake one time, but it wasn't on the beach. I think I would have liked the old place better before it burned.
